2019 // Dome for Letea - family of items for food covering
Dome for Letea it’s the outcome of a collaborative work of a contemporary designer, craftsman and artisan from the Danube Delta.
The Danube Delta, Letea, have hidden beauties waiting to be discovered.
The surprise that is under the lid or the action to put the cover to one side, is a two-way metaphor to bring the Danube Delta to people's attention. The gesture, surprise and protection are the underlying elements of this concept.
It's an exercise to preserve and protect the Danube Delta and its people who still know the tradition of crafts using local and renewable materials.
The composition of the object from a rigorous modern leather handle and a lightweight weaved cattail lid, highlights from the very first contact with the object the balance between modern / traditional and contemporary / craftsmanship.
The shape, size, design and materials chosen have the role of leading to the protection characteristic feature of the dome, resulting in an accessible product with a daily utility.
2019 // Weave Screen
“Weave” is a presence. The manually crafted bullrush screens, faulty, variable, unique are framed by a precise natural oak frame. The wood elements start as pillars, transform into screens and finish as a decorative board, closely resembling the traditional house eaves. It is modular, freestanding and foldable. It can be done in various finishes (natural, painted, brushed) but also in different types of wood essences.
2019 // Seating volumes
The project has its origin in the idea of having some objects as a result from compounding different basic volumes made out of reed, with multiple combinations possible. Even though with a clear function, the objects go towards a more artistic, sculptural zone, becoming this way a statement object for the designer as well as for the craftsman, through the possibility offered by a new direction that the material opens for the two of them. The objects are made out of reed, partially worked in a russian beating technique, then fixed into small metal frames and entirely worked with craftsmen from Letea, Danube Delta.
2019 // Delta Pendant Lamp
The adobe lamp was born from the idea of creating an eco-friendly object for DeltaCraft to express the features of the place but also the craft techniques used in the Danube Delta. The goal was to create a sustainable object that would change the perception of natural resources and craft. Focused on experience, process, sustainability and re-interpretation of craft traditions, this object can be integrated into any room and leave an impression of the region. The shape is similar to the contour of a bell due to traditional symbolism. The experiment is focused on the use of site-specific raw materials, respectively, the remembrance of the old, transposed into the new. The shell was made of adobe material. The whole process is based on this craft that uses the most important raw material - the earth land, through which many houses, rooms and cities have been built, and which still reveals countless possibilities for adaptation.
